| Normal IQ doesn't mean you can't have AS. Only if your IQ is below 70 you can't have AS. That is at least what the official criteria (DSM-IV and ICD-10) say. Research may or may not have shown that Aspies generally have high IQs, but as long as the criteria aren't changed , you can still have an AS ... |

| From what I know, living on your own can be great and it can be disastrous, depending on many different aspects. I myself was not successful at living on my own, because of isolation, not being able to manage all my duties, and generally being severely overloaded by all that it took from me to live ... |

| I am left-wing liberal (in the Nethelrnads, "liberal" means right-wing). On a Dutch forum similar to this one, the majority generally is socialist, but this is probably because the Socialist Party most protects disability benefits, public healthcare, and other social security that autistics statisti... |
